No need to be patronizing. You clearly know what they mean, it’s a term that I’ve definitely seen beyond Reddit.
karma is definitely a reddit term. but besides that, nothing wrong with using reddit
karma is a term _used_ by reddit, but it definitely isn't exclusively used there. Outside of its hindu origin, it's used by quite a few forums that track user submission/comment votes as a user score, including hackernews.

How is this a violation of personal privacy? Sending mail? Submitting name & address to a business, a readily available datapoint for probably anybody?
A home address is considered PII (Personally Identifiable Information) because, when combined with a name, it directly identifies where someone lives. When people share their address with businesses, they are generally protected under laws like GDPR and CCPA. OP’s site seems a bit hosed at the moment so I can’t dig into their privacy policy and see how they handle GDPR and CCPA deletion requests.

#76Cool idea! It sounds like you're offering it for free, with the option for a donation. How are you going to deal with the influx of what I imagine will be hundreds of free requests? Won't that get pretty expensive fast?
The pessimist in me says this is the regular old "If it's free, then you're the product" situation. This seems like a clever way to collect valid mailing addresses. People are also likely to include personal information in their praise messages, which could be valuable data. Their Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy state they reserve the right to share collected information with service providers, business partn…
Aren’t there data dumps freely available online with contact information for pretty much anyone? In that context, why would the data from this small project have any monetary value?

It started out on slashdot, the forum that invented the entire concept back in the late 90s.

#79I have to say I'd be absolutely delighted to receive a letter like this. Not just the indicator that I'm doing something right (already huge for me, given the degree to which I struggle with people pleasing), but also the humor and extra care/time involved. Feels like it would strike enough of the right nerves to be quite moving even. Definitely agreeing with others that we could use more of this in the world (well, I could definitely use more of it, at least.)
